ACSP: Chapter 44: Jiang Chen was teased by someone, an unsolvable secret realm level!
"Ah? Did such a big thing happen in Jinghai City recently?"
Zhang Xiaolin skeptically took out her phone to check, and sure enough, she found the matter Ye Ju mentioned on the trending list.
And this post was even published by the Jinghai City City Lord's Mansion.
It also included several bloody photos from the scene.
Among them, the heads of some family forces like Chen Zhentian and Wang Li were specifically given several close-up shots, and their deaths were extremely tragic.
Zhang Xiaolin was a smart person.
After seeing this post, she quickly understood that this was a method specifically used by City Lord Li Hongfei to intimidate the remaining forces of the families in Jinghai City.
Because this could more quickly consolidate the scattered family forces within Jinghai City.
However, doing so also had great potential danger.
After all, once this news was exposed, people from other cities would know the current situation of their Jinghai City.
This was not a good thing.
"I didn't expect that the usually cautious City Lord would also play with fire..."
Zhang Xiaolin frowned and pondered carefully.
Although Jinghai City had not been in contact with other cities for three years.
But this did not mean they were always safe.
Now, in many places online, there have been incidents where two cities discovered each other's locations and went to war to plunder resources.
If at this time, people from other cities happened to discover the location of their Jinghai City, that would be terrible.
"How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I? I think our City Lord's Mansion might take over all the forces in Jinghai City next, and it will be fun then."
Ye Ju leaned over and smiled while looking at the search content on Zhang Xiaolin's phone.
However, Zhang Xiaolin looked solemn: "I don't think this is necessarily a good thing. The overall strength of Jinghai City has suffered severe losses. If other cities come knocking at this time, what do we have to contend with them?"
Ye Ju smiled and waved her hand dismissively: "Relax, relax. Xiaolin, you're just too fond of worrying about nothing. Our Jinghai City has had patrol teams scouting outside for the past three years, and they haven't discovered anyone from other cities, have they? How could something like that happen so easily?"
"Xiaolin, Ye Ju..."
As the two were talking, two more people ran over on the nearby beach.
Jiang Chen saw that both of them were wearing black uniforms, and their equipment was similar to that of Captain Liu Lei; they must also be from the City Lord's Mansion patrol team.
Zhang Xiaolin and Ye Ju went up to greet them.
After chatting for a few moments, Zhang Xiaolin formally introduced Jiang Chen to them.
"This kid is named Jiang Chen, he's a friend of Li Yanran's, level 21. This time..."
"So he's Jiang Chen? No wonder he looks so familiar."
Before Zhang Xiaolin could finish, she was interrupted by Ye Ju from the side.
Zhang Xiaolin turned to look at Ye Ju and asked: "What? You know him?"
Ye Ju smiled and shook her head: "I don't know him, but I've heard his legend."
Zhang Xiaolin was stunned for a moment: "What legend? How come I don't know about it?"
Ye Ju looked at Jiang Chen with a playful smile and said: "He forced Captain Liu Lei to use a Contract Fusion on his first day at the City Lord's Mansion. Isn't that a legend?"
Zhang Xiaolin glanced at Jiang Chen in surprise.
She remembered that Captain Liu Lei was a level 50+ Tokubetsu Jonin Contractor.
She hadn't expected this kid to be able to force the other party to use the Contract Fusion skill.
It seems that Li Yanran's high opinion of him wasn't without reason.
"Since you know him, that makes things easier. This time, Jiang Chen will act as the damage dealer and join us in the Land of Waves secret realm. Do you have any objections?" Zhang Xiaolin said.
"Sure, going into a secret realm with such a handsome young man will definitely be interesting." Ye Ju smiled and curled her lips.
As she spoke, she strutted over to Jiang Chen with her proud figure, intentionally leaning her face in close.
"How about it, little brother Jiang? Is big sister treating you well?"
Their cheeks got closer and closer. Jiang Chen could even feel the warmth of her breath at this moment.
He couldn't handle such stimulation and quickly took two steps back.
Seeing this, Ye Ju immediately covered her mouth and laughed: "Oh! The handsome guy is shy. Don't worry, big sister won't eat you."
"Ju, be serious. He's Li Yanran's friend, don't mess around." Zhang Xiaolin knew Ye Ju's playful nature and specifically warned her, then turned to the other two: "Tang Si, Xiao Tu, what about you two?"
Tang Si looked a bit displeased: "I've heard about this Jiang Chen. The City Lord seems to value him highly. Since the eldest young lady has vouched for him, what else is there for us to say?"
Xiao Tu's response was similar.
Zhang Xiaolin could see what these two were thinking.
Obviously, they still had some objections to Jiang Chen's sudden addition. After all, Jiang Chen's level was simply too low.
Zhang Xiaolin didn't want Jiang Chen's intervention to affect the unity of her team, so she spoke directly: "In any case, my opinion is that we will take Jiang Chen into the secret realm once to see how he performs. If he can handle this position, we will continue to bring him along. But if he can't, I will go talk to Li Yanran myself."
Listening to Zhang Xiaolin's words, Jiang Chen was speechless.
He hadn't expected that in the end, he would still be relying on Li Yanran's connections, using her backdoor to get into this team.
But it didn't matter now.
If he had to rely on her, so be it.
As long as he could enter the secret realm quickly, that was fine.
"Alright, Jiang Chen, you are now a temporary member of our team. Given that this is your first time entering the Land of Waves secret realm, I will first tell you about the situation regarding that secret realm, so you won't be clueless when you enter..."
After finishing the preparations for her teammates, Zhang Xiaolin turned back to look at Jiang Chen and concisely explained some things about the Land of Waves secret realm to him.
Through Zhang Xiaolin's explanation, Jiang Chen quickly gained some understanding of the Land of Waves secret realm.
The clearance mode for this intermediate secret realm was similar to the Novice Secret Realm and was also divided into three difficulties.
However, the tasks for the three difficulties were completely different.
In simple mode, the secret realm task only requires picking up a master shipbuilder named Tazuna in Konoha Village, and then escorting him back to an island called the Land of Waves. On the way, you will only encounter one danger: those two Chunin from the Hidden Mist Village who will launch a surprise attack!
In hard mode, after arriving at the Land of Waves, the secret realm task automatically triggers a mission to kill the "bully Gato." That Gato has many robbers and thugs under him that need to be completely cleared out. At that time, two skilled samurai will appear, and they must all be killed to complete the mission.
As for the hell-level mode, it requires additionally killing a rogue ninja from the Hidden Mist Village, the Demon Zabuza. The opponent's strength is Elite Jonin, and they are very powerful. No one has cleared this mode yet.
"The hell-level mode of this secret realm is an unsolvable level; no one can complete it, so I don't know much about it," Zhang Xiaolin added after finishing.
Jiang Chen asked curiously: "Why is it an unsolvable level? Did someone kill that Demon Zabuza and not complete the mission?"
"Yes." Zhang Xiaolin nodded seriously and continued: "A team once killed that Demon Zabuza using a large number of explosive tags, but after that guy died, their mission failed directly."
